Romper - Sample manager for Squarp Rample

Rample
1

Hey all,

Quick post to share Romper, an open-source sample manager and kit editor I’ve been building for the Rample. Website is here: Romper

Its a desktop app for macOS, Windows, and Linux to organize your samples into kits, audition samples, search and favorite kits, and sync the whole library back to the SD card.

The core idea: treat your local sample library as the source of truth. Romper builds a backed local store from your existing SD card so you can edit, version, and audition kits on the computer, then push back to the Rample whenever you’re ready.

This is a beta

I’ve been writing this since last summer and gone through a ton of iteration to get it ready for release. The core features work great but it hasn’t had broad real-world testing beyond my own use. Its had no production testing on Windows and Linux and may complain about signing when installed on Windows. I’d love to hear about this to make sure it works cross-platform. If you hit something weird or have any suggestions I’d love to hear about it here: Issues · peteb4ker/romper · GitHub .

Feedback that would help most:

  • The setup wizard / SD-card import: does it cleanly pick up your existing SD card layout?

  • Sample playback and sync to card: any missing samples?

  • UI: does the kit/voice/sample model match how you actually work with the Rample? Anything that could be improved?

  • What other unnecessary features can we add to the XOX sequencer?

  • Crashes, weird states, anything that breaks your flow

Bug reports go in the GitHub issue tracker. Please include OS, version, and what you were doing.

Looking for contributors too

The project is open source on GitHub. If you’re into TypeScript / React / Electron or you’d like to help there’s plenty to improve on.

Thanks Squarp team for making such a great module. Hopefully this app allows us all to make even more music :folded_hands:

This looks fantastic. I’ve always meant to sit down and build new kits for the Rample but unfortunately I’ve never got around to it as I get too distracted and start playing around with various bits of kit. This should speed up and more easily enable the process so look forward to setting some time aside this weekend start building kits with Romper. Many many thanks.

Great job! I’ve been using the Ramplaid

for a few months now, but I’m going to give this one a try.
